WASHINGTON (mocsnews.com) — Kamala Harris, the first Black vice president in the United States, campaigned in Pennsylvania, focusing on supporting small businesses, housing, and expanding child tax credit. She appealed to minority voters at key events, including a Washington awards dinner and livestream rally. Former attorney generals Dick Cheney and Alberto Gonzales are supporting Kamala Harris over Donald Trump, reflecting the evolution of the Republican Party’s establishment wing. Pope Francis criticizes Trump and Harris for anti-life policies on abortion and migration, while U.S. President Joe Biden supports Harris’ strong support for abortion rights.
Despite supporting the Green New Deal, Kamala Harris claims the Biden-Harris administration has led to the largest increase in domestic oil production, while environmental groups criticize Trump’s reversal of over 100 environmental protections during his presidency. Harris plans to increase the child tax credit to $6,000 for young families for the first year of their child’s life, addressing the high cost of childcare, which has led to women leaving the workforce and low-wage jobs.
Kamala Harris, a former district attorney, performed the first same-sex union in the U.S. in 2004 and invalidated all marriages in San Francisco. Her early political advisers were gay, including Jim Rivaldo, who worked with Harvey Milk. A recent poll by The Associated Press-NORC Center for Public Affairs Research shows that 8 in 10 Democrats would be satisfied with Kamala Harris as the Democratic nominee for president. Younger adults under 45 are more satisfied with Harris than with Biden.
“Black voters want policy solutions,” said Phaedra Jackson
Kamala Harris is gaining support from Black voters, with Phaedra Jackson at the NAACP emphasizing the importance of representation in institutions. John Spencer suggests that Harris should look forward and focus on her plans for the future.
“You see who she is,” Carter said. “And as she says, ‘Why bother to even address whether or not I’m Black or Indian or whatever? I am who I am. You see it, I see it, the world sees it. ‘”
Sheila Carter believes her identity is self-explanatory and race and gender are secondary to her as a candidate.
